Captain Pete Rosco's Kandlefish Lure

About every other week I get a fishing report from Phil at Capt. Pete's Bait & Tackle in Naples. The other day he was telling me about how he had gone fishing with Capt. Pete a few days before and landed one of the biggest red groupers he had ever caught after he had tied on one of Capt. Pete's Kandlefish Lures. "Whats a Kandlefish Lure?", I asked. Phil began to tell me how Captain Pete Rosco is a biologist and has worked as a fishing guide in Alaska, the Pacific North West, the Great Lakes, and here in the Gulf of Mexico. He had wanted to develop a lure that was versatile enough to catch fish any where around the world in any kind of fishing environment. What he came up with was the Kandlefish. A full body "jigging spoon" that can be used in either fresh or saltwater and will imitate an injured bait fish whether it is cast, vertically jigged, or trolled. With sizes ranging from 1/6oz - 6oz, and 10 sizes in between, this lure can "Match the Hatch" and be fished any where from just below the surface to 300ft. The lure is so versatile, Capt. Pete has written the K-Fish Tech Guide. www.yellowbirdproducts.com/pages/kandlefishTech.html . This guide gives detailed instructions and tips on how to use the Kandlefish in any situation you could think of. It also gives some of the best general fishing advice I have ever seen online or in print in a short, easy to read and easy to understand format.
